@wangcj05 @mandd @PaulTalbot-INL @joshua-cogliati-inl ALL what do you think?
@aalfonsi Both are good for me. If you choose the option two, I think we need to switch "variables" of "Functions" to "Inputs"/"Outputs" instead.

Oh Yes absolutely that can be done to be more explicit. Implicitly in case of "functions" i think the input output relation is in their definition. For example in a case like the one below:
<Functions>
<External file="myFile.py" name="myFunction">
<variables>sampleVar1,variablefromOtherFunction</variables>
</External>
</Functions>
<variable name="myVar">
<function>myFunction</function>
</variable>
The output is myVar
(the variable name) and the inputs are the Functions
variables.
issue closure checklist is good.
Issue Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. For complex problems, a set of functions (in Samplers/Optimizers) might depend on another one/another set. Currently there is no way in RAVEN to specify an order of execution or for RAVEN to infer the order of execution as function of the input/output variables.
Describe the solution you'd like 2 options are possible:
Describe alternatives you've considered In all the functions that depend on another function/function set, the code snippet needed to compute the "common quantity" is copied pasted in each function.
